Seven colors, seven stripes, seven hours. Yes, it is taking me about an hour per color. That ought to make it easy to manage my crochet time schedule. I am hooked on hookin this fun-to-make blanket. I had a great train ride up to LA. I pod on, hook in hand and gazin out the window here and there to see the beautiful ocean view wiz by. Once I arrived at Union station, my daughter picked me up and we were off to Santa Monica for some fun. We spent the morning doing a little shopping. First stop, Rachel Ashwell’s store ‘Shabby Chic Couture’. I love her books so I just knew her store would not disappoint. The displays of vintage furniture intermixed with gorgeous linens inspired me to go home and get out the sewing machine, must make something! I chose a pair of ruffled pillow shams that I adore to add to my Target simply shabby chic bed. Second stop, the Urban craft center. Lots of fabric, yarn, and books on display and there is a really large area for classes. I picked up a pretty fabric remnant that I want to make into a pillow. Well, as you can imagine, all that shopping worked up an appetite and a girls gotta eat, so we went on up the hill to Topanga Canyon for lunch at the Canyon Bistro. Yummy! Thanks sweet daughter for the best day!
